@scottysmith3 You have to hit both other balls, but your cue ball (white ball for one player, yellow ball for the other one) has to hit at least three cushions before hitting the second ball. You play until you fail, every successful shot gives you a point.
This game sure does require more skill than wats needed for snooker. Dumbasses cant play this. especially, dumbasses who think (bucket pocket) pool is superior to all forms of billiards
@ToothyGus Why's that even important? I'm a pool player, I play 8b, 9b, 10b and straight pool. I also love 3c and am a fan of snooker and recently discovered 1p, which is also pretty hard. For me, every single discipline has itts benefits and its disadvantages. I really don't understand why for some people it's that important to call one better or more complicated than the other. Does their ego really need that push? If so, better don't play billiards at all.
@ToothyGus In the end, each discipline has its own requirements. 3c takes completely different skills than playing snooker or 8/9/10 ball. I don't think you can even compare that. F. ex. the logic of playing safe in 9ball, straight pool and 1p is *completely* different, but an important element in each one.
I remember watching Torbjörn get schooled by his father in the early eighties, then I got out of touch with this wonderful sport. Thank you youtube and all carom-fans for bringing it back to me.
This game requires so much geometry in order to hit the shots at the right angle. Dumbasses cannot play this game because simply they are ignorant and stupid.
I would like to point out that a good player like Blomdahl isn't just looking on how to make the carom, but he is also trying to place the balls so he gets a good position for the next shot.
I swear I've tried that shot at 3:35 a hundred times and I can't get the 4th rail to shorten up like he does. The cloth I play on is kinda worn, but I dunno, I think its my stroke.
@lemonite1 That shot only works on a new cloth or a well maintained fast cloth like 300 rapide. On an old cloth the reverse spin will grip on the 3rd rail, leaving nothing for the 4th rail. On a new cloth the spin will hardly do anything on the 3rd rail, and most of it will be retained for the 4th.
wow, ive seen some japanese pros play this game and its amazing to see what they come up with. while im watching, im imagining how i would try to make the shots work, and what i think and what they do is almost always different haha. im just a lower b class player.
and must hit only your ball by Cue. in order to score , your ball must touch all of other balls after touching cushion 3 times.
for example, if your ball is white, you must hit the white ball first by cue and the ball must touch yellow or red ball and touch cushion 3 times until touching the last ball which is untouched.
Every player has a cueball, being either the white or the yellow. The player has to hit both other balls and has to hit three cushions before he hits the second ball to score. You can hit all balls multiple times, and you can hit more than three cushions, as long as the two first things I mentioned happen. So you can also hit cushions before you hit any ball, or first hit a ball, then hit three cushions and hit the last ball. Just play by the first two things I said, and it's a legal shot :-)

B32PACMAN 3 years ago
It depends on the tourney format. Sometimes they play x number of innings. Usually it is a race to 50 points. Sometimes it is handicapped.
lemonite1 3 years ago
o ok and this game seems really difficult
B32PACMAN 3 years ago
yes, but once you learn some shots and angles, it REALLY helps your other games.
lemonite1 3 years ago
Oh come on - you must hit at least three cushions before completing the carom, i.e. hitting third ball.
